After ihe graduates in June, (he topee -to teach In one of the eight state-sponsored kindergarten pilot centers in North Carolina, ASU Begins To Certify arten Teachers I Administrators In the College of Education at Appalachian State University have acknowledged that whether or not the 1>71 General Assembly approves a state-wide public school kliw dsrgarten program, higher ed ucation Institutions across the state must begin preparing teachers to staff the program should it develop. According to Dr. BEN H. Hor ton, dean of the College ot Edu cation, "There is ample re search to indicate that a suc . easeful kindergarten program will bear favorablefndts during the educational career of any child. Its effect on the drop out rate alone would make the program worthwhile,” be be lieves. In light of this research and because of the eight pilot kin. dergarteo centers aithorliedby the 1969 legislature, Appalach ian’s department of teacher ed ucation has modified Its program of primary education and has already begun to certify teach, ■‘-'brs for kindergarten, SSj At .'the' beast of thene* pt®> ""tram are three professional ^ courses designed to allow Ap palachian undergraduates to Specialise In the kindergarten area and to enable experienced elementary teachers to qualify, for the new kindergarten eer ItUcates. ri "Nursery-Kindergarten Cur riculum” and "Nursery-Kin dergarten Instruction” are taught in the department of . teacher education, and "Psy chology of Early Childhood” is, taught by ABU’S department of Psychology. , To provide actuel laboratory experience for lta primary ed ; ucation students, Appalachian maintains the University Kin dergarten.

Pro. renting ttdi problem can be much leu expeniiTe then "cur ing" it. Tide was illustrated recently when a North Carolina State University professor was asked to inspect the laminated mod irebec used In tbe construction if a church. Although the church iab only four years old, the huge irehes already werebeglonlugfo leeay. ju This could bare been pre rented by treating tbe arches, irith a pres ervatire before eon itructlon. The cost would have >een around $1,500. Tbe re jalr cost was estimated at glV >00. North Carolina’s moist cit rate Is ideal for wood decay. Moisture is tbe key element In bat tbe fungi that cause de lay cannot work In dry wood, uplained W. C. Warrick, ex tension housing engineer at NCSIV He said serious decay often is due to one or more of the following errors in construction or maintenance! —Undrained soil and lnsif Cldent ventilation under base meatless bouses. —Wood such as grade stakes, concrete forms or stumps left on or In soil under houses. —Wood parts of tbe house In direct contact with foe soil, especially at dlrt-fllled por ches. —Wood parts embedded In masonry near the ground. reeled lumber. ?-y; " >' —Sheathing paper Oat la no sidficlently permeable to mats lure vapor. —Inadequate flashing at win dowa. doors and roof edge* —Poor Joinery around win dows and doors and at corners and inadequate paint malnten ante. .—back of rain gutters, am root wltnbut overhang; W§ J—UmAntll&ted attics. / —Hoot leaks; leaks aroun shower-bathtub combinations kitchen fixtures and laundr; rooms. —Failure to usepreservatlvi treated or naturally durabli wood where moisture canao be controlled. As a general safeguard agalna decay, the decay fungi sboult be kept from entering the lowei part of the structure. Dry moot should be used as far as prac tical and the structure sboult be built In a way that will keej wood dry most of the time The decay-causing fungi an always present In the air ant cannot be kept away from wood, But fungi can grow In wood onlj when It contains more than 2( percent moisture. Air-dry wool Is regularly below fids danger point. - 4 ~ v ~ ■ —.—'- i - VACATIONLAND North Carolina earned Us reputation as Variety Vaeatton land because of Its spacious beaches, gently-rolling OatMIla and scenic mountains. i* •; '. • ■ ; 'v- it ' MOBILE HOMES 1 .i 5 To Choose From - 2 & 3 Bedrooms H ** j v " ' *'= j'v?
